My back surgery...

[The Chairman]

You do NOT want to tear things "down there."

But I have and it does hurt like hell.

I have a "potty spa" rather than using TP. Whenever I get a tear down there, it stings whenever I use it and will for at least a couple of days. Heading to CVS in an hour, when it's open, for both MiraLAX and Colace. Thanks for the recommendations. I'm glad I asked.

I think I'm going to give the thread a couple of days rest in the hope that this tangent will have successfully passed.

I see what you did there. Fortunately, you didn't see what I just did.

I went completely off of opioids a couple of weeks ago. I pooped over 5 pounds about a day later. It was quite messy, messy.

Well Pete, just remember the words of George Harrison, "All things must pass".

Rooting for ya Chairman. They'll make a Walkingman out of you yet.

Wonder how that would impact your weighting and trim.

Imagine the chaos a mid-dive warhammer of that magnitude would induce.

 

[The Chairman]

Negatively, I hope! I'm a cork. People are reticent to give me the 14# of weight I need to dive an AL80 without a wetsuit. Once they see me dive, they're OK.

Hoping you are getting some peaceful summer walks in and doing some back stretches! I’ve had a paraspinal spasm for a couple of years now and stretches, walks, swimming, and hanging from anything I can (ironically!) helps - but it’s hard to sleep sometimes with the pain.

I listened to this video that came out recently and it was helpful, he’s an MIT neurosurgeon who’s done a lot of spinal surgeries and he says eating high quality produce (farmers market! ) helps us heal -
Wishing you a speedy recovery

Thank you for your welcome message and God bless!

Second, it really screws with my bowel movements. Ideas?

Ask your doctor about Naloxegol. Here it goes as Moventig.

 

[The Chairman]

I picked up Colace softener and laxative. Hopefully that will help.

Can you please share the outcome behind a

I'll probably just flush it, rather than share. You can go too far with this sharing schtick.
